    They're a bit stupid really, they are awkward and slow you down in the pool and weigh a tonne as you try to hold them up when climbing out of the pool.

    I think you might take this to the Sports>Swimming forum. The main reason for these swimming shorts, which often come with pockets for your keys and mobile phone, is that they create a sensation of drag while you are swimming which slows you down and also creates pleasurable and exciting sensations when you mistakenly think that the attractive girl you just passed cannot resist having a look at your goods.

    What kinda shorts are you buying?

    I have Fox and O'neill shorts which are incredibly light, stretchy and you can tie the top so they don't fall down :p

    TIP: if they have an elastic waist don't bother with them.

    They stop my knob from dangling out.

    Skinny dipping all the way for me. Very liberating.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Fine for women to wear close-fitting clothes and swimwear - but not ok for a man to admit publicly that he has a willy?

    Speedos are more stupid looking.

    Most awkward day of my life was going to pool, big school group comes in for their session, I look down and notice the S has come off the logo on my speedos. :(

    They're for lads afraid to show how small their package is.

    That's why I wear them.

    Aren't knee length shorts more commonly known as board shorts?The type worn while surfing? After living in Australia for many years these become the norm! In fact it's rare to see anyone at the beach in short shorts

    Did you write an angry letter about it? Maybe ring Joe?

    Those knee-length swimming shorts are really awkward. Hey, and you have noticed how men always leave the toilet seat up? What's the deal with that?

    Lots of them wear drag shorts (Pretty similar long shorts, but made of a mesh material)
    Competitive swimming is pretty much the only reason to wear DTs.

    I've loads. You only get the one? I'll check the labels - one of these might be meant for you. BRB.

    Wearing budgie smugglers for a mess around on the beach is like dressing up head to toe in lycra on your bike to go for a few messages.

    I don't know which is worse, fat blokes in speedos, or MAMILs.
